Fighting

Outside the rock door, over ten figures slowly appeared, blocking the entrance.

Another figure strolled in from behind them. Under the light from the Moonstones, the figure was revealed of Mu Li.

When his gaze initially swept over the piles of shiny gold at the corners, a greediness revealed in his eyes. He licked his lips before redirecting his gaze towards the two stone boxes that were opened by Xiao Yan, he smiled and said, "I'm sorry to disturb the both of you."

Xiao Yan with tightly gripping the key "You followed us?"

"It cannot be considered as following. A few days ago, I had received information that the Fairy Doctor had found a treasure cave. Because I didn't know about the exact location…" Mu Li shrugged his shoulders and said.

"How did you get hold of this information? I have only told my assistant Li Fei about this. You… you bribed her?" A suspicion flew across the Fairy Doctor's face, but was quickly replaced by anger.

"Ke ke, that woman's pretty stupid. With just some sweet words, she obediently told me everything." Mu Li smiled, not denying the Fairy Doctor's speculation.

"You bastard!" With straightened eyebrows, the Fairy Doctor screamed.

"I'm sorry but these things here are too important to our Wolf Head Mercenary Company. Once we possess them, we would easily be able to absorb all the factions in Qingshan Town. When that time comes, we would have the ability to develop beyond the town. Our vision lies beyond this small little town." Mu Li said emotionlessly.

"Hand over the things to me. Fairy Doctor, you ought to very clear about my feelings for you. As long as you are willing to become mine, I will definitely not mistreat you when I finally take over the Wolf Head Mercenary Company." Mu Li gave the Fairy Doctor a gaze filled with emotion as he spoke in an increasingly gentle tone.

"Become yours? Just talking to you now repulses me!" The Fairy Doctor's voice was mean as her red moist lips opened to mock him. It appeared that Mu Li's act of bribing those around her had incited her fury.

A chill flashed across Mu Li's eyes as he smiled and said softly, "It matters not. I will forcefully keep you by my side." After saying these words, Mu Li shifted his eyes to the quiet Xiao Yan beside her and laughed, "I have already told you to join the Wolf Head Mercenary Company but you refused to listen to me. Now, it's too late even if you wish to join."

"A mercenary Company without even a Da Dou Shi is actually this arrogant?" Xiao Yan rubbed his nose and shook his head.

"At least it will be easy to kill you." Mu Li with a smile that was full of killing intent said.

"Hand the things over. I'll let you die in one piece." Mu Li coldly stared at Xiao Yan with his hands crossed over his chest.

Xiao Yan gaze scanned over the badges on the chests of the ten odd mercenaries blocking the exit, getting a glimpse of their strength. These mercenaries all possessed the strength of a five star Dou Zhe while Mu Li was a six star Dou Zhe.

After weighing the opponent's line-up in his heart, Xiao Yan's knew that fighting will be not good as there were currently over ten 5 star Dou Zhe mercenaries by the rock door.

Under normal circumstances, if they attacked him as a group, Xiao Yan would very likely be killed with his current strength and knowing he can't get help from Yao Lao so he need to think quickly.

Mu Li hugged his arm and stood at the middle of the rock door. His sinister looking face stared at Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor.

"Although you have great potential, it has yet to be developed. Ah, to be honest, I'm afraid that you will seek revenge in the future. In order to avoid feeling worried about such a possibility, I will have to kill you here and now!"

Lightly tapping his fingers on his hand, Mu Li spoke with a smile. Since he was a child, his father had warned him, if possible, to kill anyone whom he had offended and not allow the other party to have any chance of returning to seek revenge.

Xiao Yan stared at Mu Li who was full of smiles and his eyes narrowed and said : "You are right. If I have the chance to leave, I would definitely create trouble for the Wolf Head Mercenary Company."

"It's admirable that you are able to put on a strong front in such a situation. But you have only strengthened my intention to kill you." Mu Li smiled as a killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Just as Xiao Yan was planning how to escape, his hand that was behind him suddenly moved as something was shoved onto it.

Narrowing his eyes, Xiao Yan clenched his hand without anyone noticing as the corner of his eye randomly glanced at the Fairy Doctor who was closely standing beside him.

"This is the sedative from earlier." The Fairy Doctor's red lips moved slightly, emitting a faint voice into Xiao Yan's ear.

Inclining his head slightly, Xiao Yan swept his gaze across the walls in the room where three Moonstones that were emitting a faint light.

"Keep close to me." Xiao Yan instructed with a serious expression.

"Ah," The Fairy Doctor nodded her head obediently. At this moment, all her hope of escaping had been placed on Xiao Yan.

"Do it! Kill that boy! Remember not to hurt the Fairy Doctor. That is my woman." Watching the pair, Mu Li tensely waved his hand and ordered.

Yes!" Having heard Mu Li's order, five of the ten odd mercenaries behind him instantly stepped forward and with a vicious expression charged at the pair.

"Bang!"

After glancing at the mercenaries charging at him, Xiao Yan extended his palm. The strong force threw the bag of sedatives into the air, which subsequently exploded. The scattered powder instantly covered the entire room.

"Hold your breath. Those at the door are not allowed to move. I want the door blocked. Ma Si, attack them!" Seeing the scattered medicinal powder, Mu Li's face changed as he quickly barked his orders.

Mu Li's orders caused the disturbance amongst the mercenaries to quickly calm down. The five mercenaries in the room took out their weapons from their waist and charged at Xiao Yan and the Fairy Doctor with fierce eyes.

Grabbing the Fairy Doctor with one hand, Xiao Yan withdrew further into the room. He then abruptly curled his hand, promptly sucking the Moonstone's on the wall towards him. The Moonstone's detached from the wall and flew into Xiao Yan's hand.

Xiao Yan rotated his hand and the Moonstone's were stored into the ring. Having lost light sources, the entire room became pitch-black.

At the moment when darkness descended, Xiao Yan pulled the Fairy Doctor's arm, spun around, and shot off in the direction of the exit that he recalled from his memory.

"Don't panic! Take out your fire sparks. Those at the door, do not move and those in the room do not come over. Remember, kill whoever that dares come towards the door."

The sudden darkness caused Mu Li's face to turn dark. However, he was impressively smart and made the right decision in a matter of seconds.

With a leader around, the Wolf Head Mercenary Company also calmed down. The mercenaries who had brought fire sparks quickly took them out. However, just as they were about to lgiht them, a rushing wind swept across these mercenaries. This was followed by a palm carrying a ferocious force which smashed heavily onto their chest.

Immediately, the few mercenaries who were unable to react in time let out a muffled cry and fell heavily onto the ground.

" He's at the Rock Door! Quick, stop him!" The mercenaries who were attacked withstood their agony and shouted.

Hearing his subordinates yell, Mu Li's face once again darkened. He took a few hurried steps back and coincidentally ended up at the edge of the Rock Door, completely blocking the only path out.

"Bang!"

A strong and ferocious force shot from their front. Had the few five star Dou Zhe at the Rock Door not reacted in time, they would have been blown aside by it. While that had not happened, these few figures were forced to stagger backwards a few steps nevertheless.

During the time the few figures were unsteady, two rushing winds secretly escaped from the gap within them. By the time these figures had recovered, it was far too late the stop the pair and they could only shout at Mu Li who was standing at the rear: "Young Company Leader! He is heading towards you!"

Mu Li narrowed his eyes and spread both legs, blocking the narrow tunnel with his body. He held his hand tightly together and a light green Dou Qi gradually flowed. Under the influence of the Dou Qi, his hands started to turn into the color of wood.

"I want to see what a two star Dou Zhe can do." With cold laughter, Mu Li pulled out a Night-luminescent Pearl and threw it forward. The faint light only had a radius of about two or three feet but was more than sufficient in this narrow tunnel after he threw the Night-luminescent Pearl forward, two figures stepped over it at great speed. With the light from the pearl, Mu Li could see a blurry image of the Xiao Yan's face.

Seeing Xiao Yan rushing towards him, Mu Li laughed with a chilly voice. His wood like fist that was surrounded by a green light, ruthlessly and furiously struck towards Xiao Yan while carrying an aggressive force.

"Low Xuan Dou Technique: Strength of the Woods!"

The Dou Qi headed towards him caused Xiao Yan's face to become serious. He raised his eyes and could clearly see the sinister look in Mu Li's eyes.

Xiao Yan then reached for the huge black sword on his back and lifted it. Rotating his wrist, he stored the sword into the storage ring, With the disappearance of the huge sword, Xiao Yan's speed exploded in the blink of an eye. The slow moving Dou Qi in him sudden gushed through his veins like a rising tide.

Xiao Yan's Dou Qi erupted after having been suppressed. He tightened his fist and numerous veins began to vibrate. A frightening force was quickly being gathered.

Feeling the surging Dou Qi in his body, an intense urge to fight appeared on Xiao Yan's delicate and handsome face. His eyes chillily glanced at Mu Li, who was within reach. The Dou Qi within him began to follow the Qi Pathes predetermined by the Dou Technique and began to spin in an uncontrolled manner.

"Octane Blast!"

A shout echoed within his heart almost caused the sleeves on Xiao Yan's arms to tighten. The originally soft cloth had transformed into something as hard as metal.

The empty space under the sleeves contained an intense force as Xiao Yan pulled his fist back before throwing it forward with an explosive force.

"Bang!"

The two fists met under the narrow cave and the muffled, thunder-like sound reverberated throughout the tunnel for a long time.

Seeing that Xiao Yan was of equal strength as him, Mu Li's face changed. He did not expect that Xiao Yan's strength had increased by a few levels in the blink of an eye.

"I've stopped him. Hurry, kill him at any cost!" A cold and sinister roar vibrated from Mu Li's throat. The strength that Xiao Yan was currently displaying had caused this extremely scheming young Company leader to become anxious. Even at such a young age, this person was able to fight equally with himself, a six star Dou Zhe. It was difficult to imagine just how strong he would be in a few years time. If Xiao Yan was allowed to escape, the Wolf Head Mercenary Company would potentially face the possibility of destruction.

Just thinking of being taken revenge on with that overwhelming strength caused Mu Li's killing intent to surge.

Hearing Mu Li shout, the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth was raised mockingly. He moved his lips, "Explode!"

"Bang!"

A muted explosion sounded. However, this explosion came from within Mu Li's body.

"Spoot!"

The sudden force that exploded in his body caused Li Mu face's to turn white in an instant. His whole body shook before finally violently coughing up a mouthful of blood.

"Go!" After striking Mu Li down, Xiao Yan resisted the urge to kill him. He promptly pulled the Fairy Doctor and without looking back, charged towards the cliff outside.

Immediately after Xiao Yan ran off, over ten mercenaries charged from within the rock room. Upon seeing the pale face Mu Li on the ground, rage filled their faces. The six star Dou Zhe young company leader was actually beaten by that young man? This horrible reality before them caused them to be in momentary states of shock.

"Idiots, what are you standing there staring at? Go and chase him. We must kill that boy. Once we leave, release our signal and get those in the ambush outside to kill him!" Seeing the blank faces of his subordinates, Mu Li once again coughed up blood as he angrily cried.

"Yes!" Mu Li's order they quickly nodded. After that, they faced the exit and hurriedly chased Xiao Yan and the Fairy Doctor.

With great difficulty, Mu Li pulled himself up and leaned against the rock wall as he let out a long breath. A sinister look appeared in his eyes. Clenching his fist tightly and punching against the rock, he said deeply, "Little bastard. You better not let me catch you. Otherwise, I will have you suffer a fate worse than death."

Xiao Yan pulled the Fairy Doctor along as he continued to charge towards the exit.

"Given Mu Li's scheming mind, he would have placed more Wolf Head Mercenary Company mercenaries on the top of the cliff." With a ragged breath, the Fairy Doctor reminded.

"Do you have any plan to escape if we don't climb up?" Xiao Yan asked.

The Fairy Doctor bit her red lips as if she had decided on something. Then she opened her mouth and said, "I can bring you away with me."

"Don't be so wishy-washy. I won't harm you after you have helped me." Seeing Xiao Yan's hesitation, the Fairy Doctor could guess what this guy was thinking and could only helplessly scold him.

Xiao Yan slightly nodded after she spoke.

Seeing Xiao Yan's agreement, the Fairy Doctor took out a short bamboo flute from her chest pocket and placed it on her mouth.

When she lightly blew, a somewhat strange sound was emitted from the bamboo flute, passed through the tunnel and circled towards sky.

"What are you doing?" Watching the small exit ahead which was emitting a faint light, Xiao Yan asked.

"I'm calling my partner." Waving the bamboo flute in her hand, the Fairy Doctor smiled: "A First Ranked Blue Eagle."

"A flying Magic Beast?" Hearing her words, Xiao Yan asked. When he saw the Fairy Doctor nodded he become silent.

"Unfortunately, there was still one more stone box that was left unopened." The Fairy Doctor closely followed Xiao Yan as she said regretfully.

"Forget it. Don't be too greedy. If we have the chance in the future, we will take it back." A chilly expression appeared on his face and thought this is the thrilling.

He knew that he will become enemy of the Wolf Head mercenary company but he didn't do any thing as he know it will entertain him if he just increase his strength but not face some challenge it will not make his fighting skill and thinking better and now by this he will work hard so he can destroy this mercenary company with enjoyment.

As he ran along the tunnel, the light from the exit became increasingly bright. A moment later, their surroundings suddenly brightened; the bright, silvery moon and the scattered stars appeared in their sight.

After appearing at the exit, Xiao Yan quickly pulled on the Fairy Doctor and leaned against the rock wall. His gaze stealthily scanned the top of the cliff and found many figures on it carrying torches and patrolling the area.

Xiao Yan asked : "Our pursuers are here on top. Where's that flying Magic Beast of yours."

The Fairy Doctor's eyes scanned the night sky. Once again, she placed the bamboo flute in her mouth. The strange sound silently spread across the sky.

"Screech!"

Not long after the whistle sound was released, a sharp screech sounded within the night sky.

With the help from the moonlight, Xiao Yan could see a blurred image of a large, old eagle with a lush blue colored body near the deep regions of the mountain ahead. It flew quickly and within a moment, was floating up from the lower edges of the cliff.

"Let's go." Seeing the arrival of the Blue Eagle, the Fairy Doctor let out a sigh and waved at Xiao Yan.

After Xiao Yan nodded, he turned around and saw a few figures within the cave. With a laugh, his hand hugged the Fairy Doctor's narrow waist and leaped, landing on the back of the huge Blue Eagle.

"Xiao Lan, let's hurry!" Once they were on the eagle's body, the Little Doctor hurriedly urged.

Hearing the Fairy Doctor's voice, Blue Eagle immediately flapped its wings. A huge gust of wind passed by with a 'thud sound'. After which, together with the two people on its back, the eagle rose towards the sky.

"Shoot it down!" Gazing at the duo that had actually managed to mount the blue eagle, the ten plus mercenaries who had appeared at the cave entrance hastily shouted to their comrades on top of the cliff.

"Xiu, Xiu Xiu!"

Hearing the shouts from below, the cliff top was in confusion for a moment, but soon after a rain of arrows suddenly flew across the sky, urgently aiming at the blue eagle.

Seeing the arrow attack, the blue eagle below shook its wings and a light green gale blew out, immediately causing the first wave of arrows to fall into the depths under the cliff.

As the Fairy Doctor squat down, the gale caused her long hair to be blown into a mess.

With her lily-white hands gently stroking the blue eagle's body, she smiled at Xiao Yan and said, "We are now safe."

"Mm..." noding, Xiao Yan sat at the blue eagle's body.

Seated atop the blue eagle, Xiao Yan looked down at the cave, staring intensely at Mu Li who was currently being supported by another mercenary at the entrance of the cave.

The two gazes met in the night skies, each of them smiling sinisterly, not bothering to hide the killing intent they had for each other.

As the blue eagle gradually flew away, Xiao Yan asked, "Where do you plan to go?"

As her fingers tidied the few strands of fine hair on her forehead, the wind that blew directly at them caused the Fairy Doctor's clothes to outline her figure, revealing the splendid curves that had been hidden before.

"I am returning to the medicine collection group." The Fairy Doctor smugly said and continued :"Once I've returned to the medicine collection group, he will not dare to do anything to me." The Fairy Doctor lightly smiled as she said. With the reputation she had in Qingshan Town, Mu Li would not dare to make a move on her unless he wanted to incur the wrath of the mercenaries in town.

"Furthermore, once we return to Qingshan Town, he would even more so dare not to make a move. The power of Thousand Medicinal House is not weaker than that of the Wolf Head Mercenaries. In addition, the leaders of the other two big mercenary groups also owe me a favor."

"Than do as you want." Lightly nodding his head Xiao knew how much popular the Fairy Doctor was from the gazes that the mercenaries used to look at the Fairy Doctor. Thus, he was not too worried about her safety.

"What about you?" Turning her head, the Fairy Doctor smiled as she inquired.

"Me? Heh heh, I am not returning. I do not have the kind of popularity that you do and if Mu Li wants to kill me, no one would step in to stop him. Moreover, given the power that I've shown, that kid would definitely try to find any means possible to kill me. Thus, I cannot return the the little town of Qingshan." Xiao Yan chuckled and tells her.

"You want to leave?" At these words, the Fairy Doctor somewhat hesitantly asked.

"Leave? He he, I would never do such a thing as run with my tail between my legs. In the near future I will be training in the Magic Beast Mountain Range for a period of time, after which... I will find the Wolf Head Mercenaries to slowly settle my debts." Xiao Yan grinned viciously as he declared.

"The commander of the Wolf Head Mercenaries is a two star Dou Shi; if you plan on taking revenge, you need to be careful." The Fairy Doctor was silent for a while before silently warning Xiao Yan.

"Relax, it's not like I have never seen a mere Dou Shi before." Leisurely moving his arms, Xiao Yan laughed out.

Seeing the confidence in Xiao Yan, the Fairy Doctor could only nod her head, not saying anything more. Turning her head, she directed the Blue Eagle to fly towards the mountains.

On the back of the eagle, as the mood gradually fell into silence, the duo slowly pondered on their exciting close brush with death.

"He he, you little brat, not bad. To actually be capable of escaping that dangerous scenario at such a minimalistic cost, it has already somewhat exceeded my expectations."

Just as Xiao Yan closed his eyes to recover Qi, Yao Lao's satisfied laughter suddenly sounded out in his mind.

Having heard Yao Lao finally speak, Xiao Yan frowned before groaning to Yao Lao in his mind, "It's all teacher teaching"

"Ha ha, brat, you are so good at talking. "Yao Lao laughed heartily as he continued to speak, "So how was the feeling of throwing off the restrictions?"

"Not bad." Xiao Yan rubbed his nose as he smugly said.

"He he, do you want vengeance?" Yao Lao's laughter was like that of a treacherous old fox, filled with enticement.

"Of course Since that bastard wants me dead, how can I let him off?"

Though Xiao Yan had a small smile on his face, there was a cold glint in his eyes.

"You've heard what the little miss said, the commander of the Wolf Head Mercenaries is a two star Dou Shi." Yao Lao laughed before continuing, "Thus if you want revenge , you need to advance to Dou Shi as fast as possible!"

"Of course, during this time I will be secretly training in the Magic Beast Mountain Range. No matter what kind of training methods teacher uses, I will overcome them all." Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders.

"Ha ha, good. Since you have this kind of determination, I will use the fastest method without any negative repercussions to make you a Dou Shi!" Yao Lao immediately became delighted when he heard Xiao Yan's words. Hate truly was the greatest medicine to advance a person's progress. After circling in the sky for a while, the eagle finally folded its wings upon landing on a hilltop.

"The Medicine Collecting Group area is under us and since you are not going back, I will place you here. Wait until tomorrow before you leave by yourself, is that okay?" Gazing at the bonfires below, the Fairy Doctor said as she turned her head to lightly smile at Xiao Yan.

"Okay." Xiao Yan smiled and nodded his head and replied, "Then let us part ways here, when we next meet, a long time may have passed."

"Yes." The Fairy Doctor's snow white chin lightly nodded as she slightly hesitated before finally retrieved a small bag of medicine and passed it over to Xiao Yan, "Though the effectiveness of this medicine powder is not huge, they should be just barely enough for your protection."

Receiving the bag which still held a trace warmth from her body, Xiao Yan rubbed his nose and smiled before nodding. He waved towards the Fairy Doctor and then turned around to walk towards the dark forest, "See you again. When we next meet, I will demolish that mercenary group for both of us."

"Hehe, I will be waiting.." With a charming wink, the Fairy Doctor laughed out.

She watched as the youth's figure slowly faded into the darkness before turning her head towards the camp, uttering in a soft yet cold voice, "Mu Li, just wait and see. A woman's grudge is more terrifying than you could ever imagine."

With an icy sneer, the Fairy Doctor once again leapt onto the Blue Eagle before slowly spiralling down and finally disappearing into the darkness of the night. As she slowly faded away, the first rays of dawn spilled out from the horizon, shining on the white tentage.

When the Fairy Doctor woke up from her sleep, she heard a disturbance outside her tent accompanied by a nauseating and familiar voice. A malicious intent stirred in her rosy and tiny smile and languidly getting off her bed, she changed her clothes before slowly walking out of the tent.

Outside the tent, seven or eight mercenaries were currently tightly guarding the entrance. At this moment, these mercenaries were barring a young man from entering with solemn faces but when they saw the Fairy Doctor come out, they hastened to greet her.

"*Chuckles*, Young Master Mu Li, Why are you trying to barge into my tent so early in the morning?" As she graced the few mercenaries with a small smile, the Fairy Doctor slanted her head to smile at Mu Li who had a somewhat uncomfortable expression on his face.

"Haha, nothing much, it's just that it's getting late and I thought that I would come by to call the Fairy Doctor to continue on our journey." Mu Li's gaze swept around the area behind the Fairy Doctor and finding nothing, he wrinkled his brows together before smiling as he said.

Lightly nodding her head, the Fairy Doctor waved a hand to dispatch the few mercenaries.

Mu Li smiled, a coldness in his expression. Once again sweeping his gaze on the tent behind the Fairy Doctor as he coolly said, "I know that since you have returned here, I cannot do anything to you but my target is not you. Hand over Xiao Yan and I will not make things difficult for you anymore."

"He left." The Fairy Doctor spread out her hands and smiled as she said.

"Left?" Mu Li's eyes withdrew as his expression turned even uglier.

"You could not possibly think that he would foolishly return to the campsite right?" With a sneer, the Fairy Doctor gazed at the surrounding mercenaries who had already woken up. These mercenaries were her protectors; as long as they were here, Mu Li would not dare to make a move on her.

"Wretch!" Mu Li swore, deeply taking in a breath, he cursed, "Since he entered the Magic Beast Mountain Range, he will meet an even swifter end!"

The Fairy Doctor ignored his curse while the corners of her ruddy and small mouth slightly raised upwards, her beautiful eyes full of ridicule.

"Miss Fairy Doctor, we are almost done with the gathering of medicine ingredients, shall we return?" A member of the medicine collection group from the Thousand Medicinal House quickly walked up before respectfully reporting to the Fairy Doctor.

"Okay, let us set out." The Fairy Doctor smiled as she inclined her head, sweeping her beautiful eyes over the entire camp. She suddenly said in a gentle tone, "Everyone, because the Wolf Head Mercenaries have met with some slight problems, I want to invite everyone to help take over their job of being my personal body guards, would this be possible?"

Having heard the Fairy Doctor's words, the mercenaries, originally shocked, abruptly threw down the things in their hands and hastily rushed towards the Fairy Doctor in excitement.

Mu Li gazed at the Fairy Doctor who was happily arranging the mercenary squads, the corners of his mouth slightly twitching; he knew that this was the Fairy Doctor's way of guarding against him.

After arranging her personal guards, the Fairy Doctor turned her head to look upon Mu Li who had yet to move from his original position. Smiling, she said, "Young Master Mu Li, when Xiao Yan was leaving, he asked me to help him pass you a message."

"As long as he hands over everything he obtained in the cave, I can let go of the fact that he injured me." Mu Li sneered and said.

"Haha, Young Master Mu Li, you are wrong. What Xiao Yan wanted me to tell you was that... he will be back..." With a gentle smile, the Fairy Doctor softly said.

The skin around Mu Li's eyes tightened as he deeply spit out a sigh, a killing intent obvious on his brow. It was only a long while later before he icily nodded, "Good, as long as he is able to survive in the Magic Beast Mountain Range, I will await his vengeance!"

Done talking, Mu Li fiercely swung his sleeves in anger before bringing the few men under him to leave the place.

As she gazed at the leaving Mu Li, the smiling expression on the Fairy Doctor's charming face gradually changed as a familiar coldness flitted across those beautiful eyes.

She used her fingers to sweep away the fine black hair across her forehead before suddenly lifting her head to look upon the tall mountain peaks behind her.

As the rays of dawn shone down onto the mountain peak, the proudly standing figure of a youth seemed visible.

Xiao Yan stood on the mountain peak as he gazed at the leaving mercenaries, twisting his head from side to side slowly. He calmly said, "Just wait for me and when we next time meet, I will make sure to repay you!"

Deeply breathing in the fresh and cool morning air, Xiao Yan suddenly turned around and carrying the black broadsword, he walked towards the dense forest without looking back.
